Chapter 25 – Transformation
Being born in the largest city of the theocracy, Suo Luo Si of Da Luo Si (Dá Luó Sī) city was the Mo Er (Mó ěr) family’s descendant. Since his talent was outstanding, he had received a lot of attention from the outside world. Of course he was arrogant, impatient and sough after vanity, but he had lost his first match against a plate of fresh meat 1. At that time, the whole city had ridiculed him.
Many people would be trampled into depression.
However Suo Luo Si had persisted, he reexamined himself thus the Suo Luo Si that did not understand the vastness of the heaven’s and earth’s talents was now gone. The originally outstanding talent, Suo Luo Si was scouted by the Crusader Guild and through this period of time Suo Luo Si entered training akin to hell. Through this the stronger he became, the more insufficient he realised himself to be.
All this time Suo Luo Si thought that his failure was due to carelessness, however during his growth his thought process had also changed, thanks to the influence of the Tai Ge tribe and unyielding perseverance, he was able to gain a winning streak. However, Suo Luo Si always wished to have a rematch with that person, thus his followers consistently searched for him. As he had only appeared one other time and had beaten a formidable Shadow Hunter, only adding to Suo Luo Si’s awareness.
This was a strong opponent!
He had finally found him this time after waiting so long.
“Oh it’s Suo Luo Si, why have you come to this low level arena?”
“It’s him, apparently he is the top crop from the plain grade arenas, if one finished their armour set then they are obviously strong.”
“He had obtained enough Beast Spirit Power a long time ago, this is probably to handicap himself.”
“He’s the top expert among Da Luo Si’s ten experts’; how could he have a false reputation. ”
Suo Luo Si had stepped onto the arena and calmly looking at his opponent he stated, “I’ve waited for you for so long.”
Zou Liang looked at the Tai Ge in front. This would be their second battle 2, but even if he wanted to forget him, it would be a hard feat. However, this time the opponent had had a huge change in temperament; but so had Zou Liang.
Zou Liang nodded his head, noticing the respect and cautiousness from the opponent’s eyes.
“I, Suo Luo Si, would like to know your name.”
“Zou Liang.”, in this world, Zou Liang would not hesitate to use his own name; he did not wish to lose himself.
Zou Liang…… Suo Luo Si dimly thought this name over; the pronunciation was very strange, however this allowed him to commit the name to memory.
The people at the bottom of the arena were discussing with one another, unknowing why Suo Luo Si would strike up a conversation with this dish of free meat. They did not assume that Suo Luo Si would go through this much trouble just for a single victory, as it would be difficult for him to find a formidable opponent even in the white grade arena.
Suo Luo Si picked up his tiger shield and pounded his fanged sword against it, letting out a tiger warcry. This was the etiquette that a Tai Ge member would do when they met an opponent they extremely respected.
This time it was not just the warriors, but also the people who followed Suo Luo Si that were dumbstruck. Even on the difficult white grade arena, Suo Luo Si had retained his prideful Tai Ge member demeanor. Seeing him attain victory after a long battle. Seeing how regardless of how difficult the battle was, he did not have a single moment of relaxation. Seeing his unsurpassable willpower had conquered them; that is why they were willing to follow him.
Yet in this low grade arena, he had shown the utmost respect for a delicate opponent. If one did not observe wrongly, this weak and fragile opponent was not from a large tribe and could only be one from a weak and small tribe.
Faced with the opponent’s respect, Zou Liang also returned an inviting hand gesture. A completely different Suo Luo Si: the thick battle intent and steady heart, could be felt. He was unable to believe that this was the same egotistical and arrogant Tai Ge.
Zou Liang was not like the Zou Liang that had first arrived in this world.
He had been completely reborn! 3
hou……
Suo Luo Si snarled and charged towards his opponent, the tiger roar sounded with intimidation. However, under this kind of charge attack the opponent showed the calmness from before, still standing there as if dumbstruck. Suo Luo Si did not have any thoughts of underestimating his opponent, slicing an arc with the fanged sword.
ceng……
Missed!
This fast and fierce sword strike had sliced through air, however Suo Luo Si seem to have anticipated this a long time ago, flipping his fang sword he darted into a stab; with 1~5 attack, one would suffer heavy wounds if not meet imminent death.
However, the opponent calmly moved and in comparison with Suo Luo Si’s fierce stability, the opponent’s movement seemed delicate and weak. Yet he could dodge Suo Luo Si’s attacks time and time again by the breadth of a hair.
Suo Luo Si’s followers were all white grade warriors, thus they had abundant combat experience. Anyone knew that if one allowed a Tai Ge member to control the situation, only death would await; it would be likened unto a tiger that had descended the mountain.
Even if it was on the white grade stage, an occupation would have to rely on its characteristics to suppress their opponent, but this free dish of meat didn’t even counter attack even once.
Perhaps it was not that he didn’t wish to, but that he couldn’t!
While attacking, Suo Luo Si had kept his shield in the most optimal position, not giving the opposition a chance to attack. Everyone could not help but sigh at seeing this sight; this Tai Ge member’s technique was far too good, practically perfect. Normally, the more ferocious a warrior attacked, the more they would start to neglect their defences, however observing Suo Luo Si revealed that whenever he would launch a deadly attack, the position of the shield would be just right; not giving the opponent a chance to attack was also another key point for Suo Luo Si’s victories in the white grade arena.
Being an outstanding warrior, this was something that someone had to be prepared for. Being brave but ignorant could not allow one to become a thousand-man slayer 4.
Some concepts are only understood through failure.
Failure was the origin of success; this would forever be the truth.
Zou Liang sighed in admiration; Suo Luo Si had completely became a new person. When the latter attacked like this, if the former wished to force his way through it would not return any good results.
Approximately ten sword strokes had passed, yet this free dish of meat had managed to keep up his stable evasive footwork under Suo Luo Si’s shower of blows.
Even a Shadow Hunter would be hard pressed to not make any contact under this kind of onslaught by a Crusader; however, this dish of meat had managed to achieve this!
As everyone was a warrior, they evidently had already understood the concept.
This set of footwork was very mysterious: It was very simple, when advancing and retreating it contained something, but they were not able to determine what it was in that short period.
From Suo Luo Si’s perspective, every time he attacked he would miss by a hair; this was definitely not by coincidence, it was a type of control exerted by the opposition.
Suo Luo Si was very calm and collected, his master’s words resonating through his head: When a Tai Ge was at his fiercest moments, his heart needed to be frozen!
Calm and collected!
While suppressing, the shield was not merely defence but also a type of pressure. The sword was not merely used to attack, but also to defend!
Continually suppressing the opponent, destroying the opponent’s rhythm. Suo Luo Si hurried, however he mustn’t be anxious, these were the inner qualities that a warrior had to be equipped with.
easy prey Raws say that they had experience two battles but this is their second Censored Chinese means a match against a thousand people
